First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Lorena McCourtney and her publisher for sending me a copy of "Dying to Read" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.
“Dying to Read” by Lorena McCourtney is a clever mystery novel with a likeable protagonist. Cate Kincaid has failed at every attempt she’s made to earn a living. Now, while she waits to hear back on several resumes that she sent out, she is working for her uncle’s private investigation company. Her first assignment is to find Willow Bishop for her family. When she arrives at Willow’s last known location, she finds a group of women who read books together and a dead body. A bit too much excitement for a first day? Cate figures she can get some help from her uncle, but that doesn’t work out as she planned, either.
Now she’s on her own to make a go of this temporary career and not ruin her uncle’s business. With computer guru/handyman Mitch Berenski finding creative ways to get Cate to date him and Octavia the cat showing Cate which leads to follow in the case, this Assistant PI has her hands full! This clever whodunit is a completely delightful and humorous read with a light romantic twist. I will definitely keep my eyes open for more novels by this gifted author, Lorena McCourtney.
